As lazy as I have been….it’s been awesome to have someone that kicks my ass into gear….
So yes, even when I’d rather be sleeping, the lecture I could get gets me out and training….

I then formulate a plan based on your history, needs and also psychological state as well.
Everything is documented on my Fit Tricks APP, so it is now online and tracked. We tweak as we need. I push you just the right amounts to get the results that you need!
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
1. Only eat superfoods blessed by a Shaman on a full moon.
2. Eliminate whole food groups and then add them in a step, clockwise ratio....

Expend more energy than you take in. Move with the right amounts and types of exercise. Be conscious of your eating and always be consistent!
